250. Deputy Catherine Murphy asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if the situation regarding the circumstances surrounding the mandatory use of cycle lanes in the context of the Road Traffic (Traffic and Parking) (Amendment) (No. 2) Regulations 2012 (SI Number 332 of 2012) has been resolved; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [30556/17]
View answerThe Department is currently consulting with the Road Safety Authority and An Garda Síochána and has sought their views on the relevant provisions. Before any amendments are considered to clarify the situation in relation to the circumstances surrounding the mandatory use of cycle lanes, this Department will have to satisfy itself that any such measures strike an appropriate balance between the views of all stakeholders from a road safety perspective. A detailed report on this issue is expected from the RSA shortly.
